Welcome to Wellbeing!
Im Nicky, proud owner of Nicky's Holistic Haven. A place for you to relax and unwind and have that all important 'me time' where treatments are individually tailored to your specific needs.
Having worked in healthcare for over 25 years, I have seen first hand how stress can adversely affect mental and physical health.

Reflexology
The Principle of reflexology is the discovery of points of the feet, hands and face known as 'reflex points' which correspond to organs, systems and structures of the body, gentle pressure of these reflex points stimulate and support the body's own natural healing abilities promoting better emotional and physical health. Clients often notice they have improved sense mood, sleep and reduction in stress after their sessions.
My in depth training enabled me to carry out case studies on clients with presenting conditions so I could really see first hand the benefits for certain health conditions these included, Rheumatoid arthritis, Migraines, IBS, menopause, Thryroid issues and Diabetes. Reflexology does not diagnose and does not cure though, and should not be used as an alternative to conventional medicine. We aim to work alongside your routine healthcare for any medical condition.
Indian Head Massage
Alleviates stress and tension, stimulating and improving scalp circulation and a general feeling of relaxation. This is a seated massage working on the back, shoulders, neck, arms, hands, face and scalp. It can be done with the client fully clothed or with shoulders exposed (I provide a special towel for your comfort and modesty) and use of a lovely range of oils to aid the relaxing experience.

Some frequently asked questions...
Can anyone have Reflexology?
Yes, Reflexology is suitable for anyone, of any age. I have treated new born babies and it can be beneficial for end of life care and everyone in between. Some medical conditions can be contraindicated but this will be established at time of booking.
How many Reflexology sessions will I need?
Everyone responds differently to reflexology, some can see benefits after just one session some may need a few sessions. It also depends on the reason for choosing reflexology, if you are looking for a little ‘me time’, a destress, a chance to relax and switch off one off treatments are very beneficial. If you are looking for reflexology to support you with a certain condition it is a good idea to start with a course of treatments, often involving 4-6 weekly/fortnightly treatments to notice improvements.
Can I keep on having Reflexology?
After completing a course of treatment you may find it helpful to continue with treatments on a regular basis (often monthly) in order to maintain a state of good health and well being. Please do contact Nicky if you would like to discuss how reflexology can benefit you.
What happens during my Reflexology session?
You will be laid back in a reclining chair called a ‘lafuma’ and covered in a nice cosy blanket. Treatment starts with a gentle cleanse and massage of your feet followed by the full reflexology treatment involving various techniques to work the reflexes of the feet, finishing with a moisturising foot massage and a chance to relax before being seated upright. All you need to remove is you socks and shoes!
Can I still have Reflexology if I have ‘ticklish’ or ‘awful’ feet?
The pressure with reflexology is such that even the most ticklish of feet can handle it! ‘Awful feet’, what’s that? Is our answer, as reflexologist no one has bad feet, we honestly look past what you may perceive as bad feet as we are looking for and working on imbalances of the reflexes. Please do not let these be the reasons why you don’t try this wonderful holistic therapy.
What happens during my Indian Head Massage session?
The massage is carried out in a seated position using oil and a range of holistic massage techniques on the upper back, shoulders, arms, hands, neck, face and scalp. It would be advisable to wear a strappy top you can easily pull down – a towel will be provided for your privacy. Please note Indian head massage can be performed fully clothed and without oil should you wish.
